I don’t know if this is the correct community to post this. I have a Smart TV from a Greek manufacturer named TurboX. Not Android TV, Smart TV. This means that it has Internet access, has some pre-installed apps, but I can’t install any other apps on it. The menus thankfully don’t have any ads. However, the Youtube app has. I highly doubt there is any way to remove those, but if you guys know or found any, can you let me know?

Thanks.

    Weird how people are saying it should work, lol. Blocking YouTube ads with pihole most definitely does not work. Cannot work even, it’s just how YouTube works.

    I’m afraid that using something like a googletv stick (or nvidia shield etc) and installing smarttube is your best bet.

      Yupp that works well with CCWGTV for now.

      Probably a smoother experience than the built in OS too. Hoping for a new Shield with the upcomming Switch so I can leave yet another Google product behind

      Can confirm. Pi-hole does not block YouTube smart TV app ads. Hasn’t for a long time (2018ish?)

      I use sefiniks (sp?) lists which has a YouTube list but no luck.
